Term 1 SOLO Taxonomy Topic- Living Things

Our focus in term 1 has been on living things. Part of this was looking at the life processes of living things and why these are so important. We focused our time looking at the Tuatara, investigating the living processes that enable them to live their life here in Aotearoa. To do this, we used the MRS GREN acronym: M-ovement, R-eproduction, S-ensitivity, G-rowth, R-espiration, E-xtretion and N-utrition.

SOLO Level	Comment- Navara, Jasmine and Rachel
Multistructural/Relational	Girls, I have marked you between multistructural and relational because some areas of MRS GREN have been explained for further clarity such as Sensitivity and movement, whereas others are very brief with little to no explanation. Next Step: Give several ideas for each area and ensure that you are giving clear explanation about why these occur or why they are important.
